Who knows what if anything will happen to Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel (whole deal sounds like a set up by autograph brokers to me); South Carolina says Jadaveon Clowney is in the clear as did Louisville in regards to Teddy Bridgewater.
The whole mess could potentially bring about some changes in how college football does business and already has on a small level. In the meantime there is one guy at least that has been able to benefit from penning a few autograph's--and considering what he went through in order to achieve his notoriety it is well-deserved.

To be a little more clear I should say former Michigan football player since he no longer has any eligibility and is done playing--nothing illegal done here. For the non-Wolverines fans out there the guy in the pic is Vincent Smith. You may remember him from this epic hit during the Outback Bowl:

Otherwise, the Wolverines may have won the Outback Bowl rather than Smith feeling the wrath of Clowney and essentially fumbling the game away. That, and there wouldn’t still be South Carolina newspapers making jokes at Smith’s expense. As you can see from the photo above that Twitter user @AdamCTwitty passed along (via the Detroit Free Press), a South Carolina paper recently ran a sarcastic advertisement asking if anyone has seen Smith’s helmet. If for some reason you have forgotten the hit that Clowney put on Smith that sent his helmet flying and shook the universe, go ahead and click here. If it’s any consolation to Smith, Clowney would likely be the top overall pick in the NFL draft if eligibility rules weren’t forcing him to stay at South Carolina for another year. My guess is the 256-pound sophomore hasn’t sent his last helmet flying through the air.

That held true this weekend as Michigan turned the ball over an unprecedented six times, five of which were just plain bad decisions. Denard accounted for five, with four interceptions and a fumble. Vincent Smith threw the other pick on an ill-advised jump pass as Manti Te’o was bearing down on him with Michigan inside the 10. Notre Dame swapped out Everett Golson after he threw two picks and Tommy Rees led them to victory, while scoring the first rushing touchdown of his career. It ended up being the only TD of the game for either team.

This time, Minnesota was the foe, and while the Gophers aren’t exactly the class of the Big Ten, no other Michigan team has ever beaten Minnesota as badly as it did today.
Vincent Smith scored a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, and threw a touchdown pass to lead Michigan to a 58-0 win, its first shutout since beating Notre Dame 38-0 in 2007, and its first shutout of a Big Ten opponent since a 20-0 victory over Penn State in 2001.
